If ur uncut? how far back should the foreskin retract? how far back on the shaft should it retract past the head? Also, on the underside of m foreskin, i can only see them when i retract it, there are lots of little, tiny, whitish pimple-like bupms. they dont hurt or irritate or anything like that. and i am a virgin. what are these? are they bad? and how big should a 15 yr penis be? pls help

Hey buddy

Your foreskin should be able to fairly easily pull back all the way behind the head so its kinda caught on that little rim. Like the bottom of a German WW2 helmet..lol bad example. You know what I'm talking about though.

As for those little white thingies...I'm not quite sure. Could it be that smegma stuff? Try washing them off and scrub at them just a little bit. Thats what I do if I go without cleaning for a little while. (Note: be sure to clean under your foreskin--I know! I went 2 years of masterbating and not cleaning! It seemed fine then, now I cant believe I did that)

And as for size, I'm not really sure what the average is but I THINK mine is almost 7 inches while erect. But seriously, don't worry about the size. If you like ur penis, anyone your with will like it too. Oh I'm 16 by the way.

The foreskin should be able to comfortably rest behind the head as mentioned. If the frenulum (piece of skin attached to foreskin and bottom of head) is too tight, you need to work on stretching it out. You can find directions in other posts.

Tha spots are called Fordyce Spots. They are completely harmless.

3) Fordyce Spots

This condition arises from the presence of ectopic sebaceous glands. It may be found under the prepuce and on the vulva. The lesion appear as multiple small, white or yellow spots in submucosa.
